Tilt watch uses light, shadows to tell time.

Ron says: I was playing around withe the iPad tilt function and wondered if I could make it work into a watch.

The watch should be sleek, sophisticated and simple. You see a lot of tiny cubes. By changing the tilt of the watch you change direction the light shines on the cubes. The numbers also consists of the same cubes but they stay the same so you can see them by changing the rest of the cubes by tilting the watch. Sounds hard but it is simple.

Nearly everybody. It will be a very nice show off plaything and sophisticated watch at the same time.

Fantastic. Best of 1st page. Me want. In fact, I like the display that is match enough with the face and strap. The watch is classy, minimal, casual, and artistic. I know people will be jealous to you. Personal appeal to Tokyoflash please considering making this! 5* starship!

Wow you have no idea how similar this looks to a design I have sitting on my computer which I havent submitted yet, its spooky! I was wondering whether or not to submit, this answers that question.
I must admit I didnt use the tilt/light angle in the time telling, it was just and LCD shining through a cubey lens. But the visual was very similar. So I support it for two reasons, the similar look and the more advanced time telling method! 5/Y Best of luck!

I guess it would be a similar process to the lenticular lens that Laszlo used recently. So its probably just a case of getting the angle of the faces right. I hope it can be done cos it would be awesome! 😀

Veeery cool idea! I like what you did there. I wonder what would happen if you used negative cubes for the numbers instead of empty ones, you know while the most cuber are convex, the number cubes could be concave. Anyway, the light idea combined with the tilt of the watch is so nice, 5*/YES
